Executive Roundtables

The ATGF Executive Roundtable is a closed, peer-led forum for senior leaders navigating transformation across Africa. Each virtual session brings together a small group of experienced practitioners to exchange practical insight, challenge assumptions and strengthen governance thinking across borders.

We are looking for senior leaders working across transformation, technology and organisational change across Africa. Places are intentionally limited so that every participant has the space to contribute fully.

The focus of this session was ‘What do the best leaders do differently when momentum starts to slip?’

A couple things the room agreed on:

  • The earliest signs are behavioural, not technical. Leaders disengaging. Information not cascading. Silence replacing candour.

  • Transformation fails when it’s seen as an IT problem. Ownership has to live in every business unit — not just at executive level.

And the uncomfortable truth that surfaced was that in many organisations, change management is still being treated as optional.

March 2026

The inaugural ATGF Executive Roundtable brought together senior leaders from across the continent working in transformation, technology and organisational change. The conversation explored common challenges around technology adoption, the importance of adapting approaches to local African contexts, and the leadership discipline required to make change sustainable.
